Increase the ringer volume on incoming call whenever the phone is inside the pocket or bag.
( I know there is an option in Note II/S3 to increase ringer when phone is in pocket but I find it improperly working so later decided to release this app )
Great for:
Great for those who do not like to keep Ringer volume full all the time but when driving car/bike couldn’t hear the phone call (caller name) then PocketRing is the app for you!
Features:
Max Volume:
Set the maximum volume which is to be increased on incoming call whenever the phone is inside the pocket.
Respect Silent Mode:
Force ring in silent mode or to remain silent.(Keep it on if attending college/office)
(Force ring will cause to ring both the, default ringtone + custom contact ringtone.)
Sleep @ Night:
Suspend PocketRing from increasing volume in the night time of 10PM to 7AM. (Good to keep ON if you keep your cell phone beneath the pillow while sleeping.)
Auto Restore Ringer:
Restore ringer to the original value/state when taken out from the pocket/bag on incoming call.
Sensor Mode:
Select Proximity Sensor or Light Sensor as default.
Good to change to obtain more accuracy or your phone doesn’t have the defined default sensor.

Light Sensor:
Light sensor detects and measures the light.

PocketRing can be enabled or disabled by long tapping on the name “PocketRing/PocketRing Pro” located above “Max Volume”

Voice Caller ID like apps with “Lower Ring Volume” option enabled causes to stop restoring volume sometimes.

I searched and found one thread that explains how to get the phone profile to automatically change to vibrate during meetings by changing the setting in the settings in "Sound&Display" from nomrmal to Auto which was already very useful to me and I did not knew about it before the search
However, I hate the vibrator and I want the ringer to mute completely, no ring and no vibrator. I can see the screen light.
Is there any way to do that weather with the system or with separate application
my best regards
Hi
I'm using SG2 on KF3 india stock firmware
I noticed a weird bug,
When vibration is set to always on mode, and Motion controls (Turn over) are set to On, when the phone is place on flat surface like sofa,bed,pillow or anyother flat surface,there is no sound or vibration for incoming call and messages.
if at all that comes,vibration or sound is coming only for 1-2 sec,then phone goes to silent
This happeing with Vibration only in silent mode also, once in a while its completely vibrating ,other wise phone vibrating for two times then going to silent mode
When Turn Over setting in Motion is disabled,then its completely fine,
is this normal with Turn Over feature, If yes, then i'm done with motion controls
Its so annoying for me,as i need vibration always,coz when phone is trouser pocket,ringtone is not audible,so i need vibration to know for sms and incoming calls, in this case,when phone is on sofa or bed,i'm completely blindfolded about my calls and sms as there is no ringtone
anyway to get this over?
Any one else faced this issue?
No, I do not have this problem.
I have also both turned on - vibration and motion controls.
Do you have tested the turn over in settings - motion controls - turn over?
And do you already tried to calibrate sensors?
In settings - display - horizontal calibration and gyro-sensor calibration.
If this does not help, you really should set priority and use silent mode.
Same here
I've the same issue..
Im on xxkh3 right now. I've tried calibrating and also Ive tested several different versions of firmware. Nothing changed.
It's quite annoying, knowing that only some of us have this, makes it worse. Maybe it is a hadrware defect??
Edit : BTW, there is already a thread for this :

I have a very simple profile set up to put my phone in silent mode during certain days and times. The profile is being executed as expected. I can go into Sound menu on the phone and see that the phone was put into silent mode. However, the silent and vibrate icons are not displayed in the notification bar. Even more troublesome, is that the phone wont actually vibrate when I get a call or notification. If I manually deselect and select silent, I will see both icons and the phone functions as expected. Is there perhaps some bug in Tasker that is not handling this correctly?
My phone is the Samsung Galaxy S2, rooted running Unnamed rom.
BUMP....sorry to bump this but was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue?
More information: I downloaded Sound Manager which is an app that shows the status of the various volume & vibrate settings. After Tasker has executed the profile to put my phone into silent mode, I used Sound Manager to doublecheck my vibrate status, and both calls and notifications are set to not vibrate at all even though in my phone settings I have vibrate on silent. When I change the call and notification vibrate settings in Sound Manager to vibrate on silent as well, I see the appropriate icons . This tells me that Tasker is doing something wrong when setting my phone to silent.
Any ideas?
I am having a similar problem
I set the "silent mode" to "vibrate" (in tasker) but I get an icon of silent instead of vibrate.
Same problem here, tasker puts phone in silent mode bud doesn't enable vibration (manually setting silent mode in statussbar works fine) looks like tasker bug to me.
Galaxy s2
Rom: KI4 rooted
EDIT:
HA! Found it! Silent Mode in tasker doesn't have 2 modes (ON and OFF). Instead it has 3 (on, VIBRATE, off). Set it to VIBRATE and you ar back in bussiness
Checked it - works. If others confirm we can mark this one solved
I have a very similar issue. I have a profile that is triggered when I am near two cell towers at my work. The actions put the Phone Ringer to volume 0 and enable vibrate, and I see the vibrate icon in the notification tray, but I've tested calling myself from my office phone, and the phone still rings at normal volume.
I'm using an LG G3, rooted and running stock ROM, Android 5.
similar issue for meI have a profile that activates when my phone sees the wifi at work will set the phone to silent mode (3 – vibrate). It works fine when I first get in as it will vibrate, but then after some unknown amount of time it will set the ringer back to wherever it was (like it exits the profile) but the profile is still active in tasker. If I manually reexecute the profile it will stay in vibrate the rest of the day. Ideas?
HTC One X running latest ViperX,
When I activate the Android camera the ringtone volume increases to maximum then returns to normal when camera is exited.
This behaviour is not replicated using 3rd party camera apps, I can lower the volume when in the camera app but next time it is opened the same thing happens.
Does anyone know of either a solution or which other processes may be triggered when the camera starts so I can trace the problem back.
Very annoying as when composing a picture of a sleeping cat with ringtone originally set low (shutter sound off) I may receive a call or message which now blares at full volume, thus waking my subject!
I just upgraded from an S10 Plus. I have my audio settings set exactly the same. When using Google Maps to navigate I have it set to alert only. On the S10 while driving the music would drop in volume, I would get the alert tone and she would say "speed trap ahead" along with the pop-up on the screen asking if the speed trap is still there. On the S23 I only get the pop-up on the screen, no audio notification and the music volume stays constant. Is this a known bug? I would also get notification tones for messages as well, nothing on the S23. If I set it to be completely un-muted the turn by turn directions come through as expected but I have not yet driven through an area where an alert notification would come through while un-muted.
That sounds like a bug because I have a macro set to run everytime I connect to my car to turn down notification volume to 0 so it doesn't mute audio for notifications but calls still ring for me just fine.
